Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shorten cooling time of a dispersion or a liq. after deodorizing treatment, to prevent a film which brings adhesion, piling and/or clogging of an apparatus during cooling treatment from being formed in case of a polymer- contg. dispersion and to simplify simultaneously a complicated structure of the apparatus. SOLUTION: Steam is passed through a dispersion or a liq. to be cooled and held in a treating container 1 and the dispersion or the liq. is whipped as the result (a) and this air bubble is discharged from the top part of the treating container 1 and it is fed into a vacuum separating container 4 through a nozzle and the air bubble is exploded during it (b) and steam formed from the air bubble is condensed by means of a heat exchanger 3 and volatile org. components are simultaneously removed (c) and exploded air bubble is returned to the container (d) and the processes (a) to (d) are performed until the dispersion or the liq. is deodorized to a required extent.
Abstract:
In order to prepare an antibacterial and fungicidal polymer dispersion, a polymer dispersion is mixed with an amount of a protective polymer which is dispersible in the polymer dispersion, said amount being sufficient to attain an antibacterial and fungicidal effect. The protective polymer comprises: between 3 and 60 wt %, relative to the total weight of components a) and b) without metallic ions, of at least one C3 to C7 alpha, beta-monoethylenically unsaturated mono or dicarboxylic acid which is partially or completely neutralized or can be present as an anhydride, as component a); between 97 and 40 wt %, relative to the total weight of components a) and b) without metallic ions, of at least one C1 to C20 alkyl(meth)acrylate, of a C1 to C20 carboxylic acid vinyl ester, of a vinyl aromatic containing up to 20 carbon atoms, of an ethylenically unsaturated C3 to C6 nitrile, of a vinyl halide or a non-aromatic C4 to C8 hydrocarbon and at least two conjugated double bonds or ethylene or propylene as component b); between 0 and 50 wt %, relative to the total weight of components a) and b) without metallic ions, of at least one further ethylenically unsaturated monomer, as component c); and between 0 and 20 wt %, relative to the total weight of components a), b) and c) without metallic ions, of at least one cross-linking polyfunctional monomer, as component d). Between 1 and 100 mol % of the acid groups are converted into salts of at least one antibacterial and/or fungicidal metallic ion.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for reducing the content of small quantiti es of C1-C2-aldehydes formed from organic compounds with -CH2-CHR-O- and/or -CH 2- CH(OH)-groups (R=H, C1-C4-alkyl) as a result of radical action, to 1 ppm by adding compounds which react with said aldehyde groups. Substances with the aforementioned groups also include many emulsifiers and protective colloids used in polymer chemistry, such as polyethylene glycols, polyvinyl alcohols or products of ethoxylation of long-chained alcohols, phenols or amines. The inventive method is particularly useful for treating polymer dispersions produced by radical polymerisation of monomers in the presence of these type s of emulsifiers or protective colloids and enables the production of aldehyde - free polymer dispersions which can then be used for sanitary and hygiene products.
Abstract:
A method for cooling dispersions or liquids (D/L) after a deodorising process comprising (a) passing steam through the D/L in a boiler (1), causing it to foam, (b) taking the foam from the top of the boiler into an evacuated separator (4) through a jet (5) and thus breaking the foam, (c) condensing the water vapour from the foam in a heat exchanger (8) and removing organic volatiles, and (d) returning the broken foam to (1). This process is continued until the D/L is deodorised to the required extent, then the hot D/L is cooled by transferring it from the bottom of (1) to the evacuated separator (4) via jet (5), the water vapour produced is condensed in (8) as before, and the cooled D/L is taken off at the bottom of (4).
